Princess Cruises has launched MedallionNet Max, a new level of faster on-board Wi-Fi service for travelers on its cruise ships. It can deliver hundreds of megabits a second in some cases.

The aim is to meet the growing demands of today’s intensively digitally-connected travelers and continue to expand the market for cruise vacations. And, yep, we’ll probably see a lot more videos from influencers showing us how great a time they’re having on cruise ships. The speeds are available via premium packages.
